Hello, my name is Alan Norton,
welcome to Equilibrium Building Solutions Ltd.
Equilibrium was established in April 2010, a family business with strong values, with a focus on excellent customer service.
Having been involved in construction most of my working life, I decided to start my own business and do it my way!
My construction journey began at the school workshop. Little did I know then that I would then move onto to becoming a carpenter in my adult life!
I’ve had the privilege of working on some very prestigious projects in the Southeast.
From high end residential developments to bank & restaurant fit-outs, 5 star hotels, the shell building & Waterloo house, including Canary Wharf in the famous docklands development back in the day!
I’ve travelled the country working on a wide range of niche projects, including building sound recording studios.
With the arrival of my first two children I was given the opportunity to work for a small building contractor in South London.
Rob and I would be fitting luxury kitchens & bathrooms in some of the most wealthiest desirable properties in London.
As his company grew we moved onto large scale renovations, it was here that my passion was realised.
I was promoted to Contracts manager and my role was crucial to the smooth delivery of any given project.
I relished this opportunity and excelled in my new role.I enjoyed the pressure but enjoyed the journey and the end results even more!
As the company grew even further we were tasked with working at many private hospitals in London including the famous Harley St community.
Deadlines were important and had to be met, this is where my earlier shop fitting experience came into play. Long hours and working under pressure was my new default mode.
Moving on 5 years, the company moved in a new direction.
Home insurance property repairs & restoration was the new order for some of the biggest giants in the insurance industry!
With hundreds, if not thousands of live jobs on the system at any given time, customer service was Paramount!
It was here that I really learned the importance of keeping customers up to date on timings and developments.
The nature of the work was vast, collision impacts, water ingress, house fires, subsistence and storm damage were all part of the day to day operations.
It was here that I gained invaluable accolades for asbestos awareness, health and safety and how to manage a large team of 20+ contractors.
The reinstatement works covered all aspects of the construction skillsets.
From structural repairs, crack stitching, roofing, brickwork & rendering to internal fit outs to include new hardwood flooring & restoration, kitchens, bathrooms, plasterwork, cornices & decoration.
Each and every project was unique, some of our clients were disabled, blind & deaf, other clients had large families, some worked night shifts… you can get a feel for the importance of good communication & customer care here.
We are based in Hastings, East Sussex, covering surrounding areas to a 20 mile radius. If you’re looking to renovate, restore, refurbish, remodel, or increase the size of your home, we would love to hear from you.
Equilibrium offers a complete project management building service as standard. Whether its design & build or a full restoration project, we have the know how to deliver your project to the very highest of standards.
